Ministers And Politics.
The writer hus never con?u rr dd
in tho idea that ministers should
the Uo8pel-both as a minister
and as a citizen-to take an aotivo
interest in politics. Tho Green
ville Mountaineer has tho follow
ing to say bearing upon this sub
ject:
"To put it mildly, it i? always
provoking to us to hear a man say
that prcaohers should not dabble
in politics. One would think from
tho way some mon talk that a
preachor was not a citizen in the
ordinary acceptation of the term,
and hence should not stoop to min
glo in "dirty politics;" that a min
ister is something more than an
ordinary man,-a religious leader,
as it were, who should stand aloof
from matters of earth and concern
himself merely with the spiritual
side of affairs. There may bo some
ministers who take that view of it,
but wc believe there are precious
few of thom who are now of that
opinion, Wo don't believe minis
ters ought to bc politicians in the
ordiuary acceptation of the word
"politician", but they should be
leaders of the people, leading them
to highor and nobler things, to a
bettor realization of their duties aa
citizens. If ministers would take
moro interest in politics, if thc poo
ple would follow their advice and
leadership and not bo so glib about
Bwaliowing the words of some
tltoii. own j?loi i ii (vi M . i) >M<. i
the days of "dirty politics" would
bc numbored. There is such a
thing as clean politics but to have
such we must follow leaders whose
?very .word and deed is above
reproach. I jet the preacher? take
a baud and we are quite sure there
will bo purer politics in South
Carolina. When we hear a man
.expressing regrets that a minister
i meddles in politics, wo arc quite
?eure wo iiavc spotted one who does
not wish to see any improvement,
it suits him too well as it is. Tho
preacher bolongs to a higher class
than he."

Carolina Fortlllzor Almanac
Wo know that some orope will bear
largor amounts of fertilisers with reason,
able assurance of profitable returns than
may bo expectod of other soils.' A crop
that occupies tho soil from ?he fall season
until spring, or carty summer, will bear
heavier fertilizing than will a crop that
Is planted In tho spring and ripens for
harvest In midsummer. The first caso ls
illustrated by oats, wheat, or other small
grain, or grass, especially whon sown In
the fall or tho year. Such a crop occu
pies the soil during the late fall and win
lor, and early spring-during which pe
riods the rains aro usually abundant
ripening for harvest in lato spring, or
very early summer, before tho ' burning
summor heat and possible drouths ot
June and July. Oats and wheat therefore
?re Ideal crops for liberal fertilising.
Corn Is rather an uncertain crop on the
.rdlnary dry uplands of tho South. It
tas but a short period In which to devel
p Its flowers-tassels and silks-cover
ng but a few days. Ii very dry weather
?hall prevail when this critical period ls
approaching, and for somo tlmo after it
ls passed, tho crops may provo a greater
or lesa ialluro. Thero can be no second
e.fort. no second period of blooming.
It ir, different in tho caso of cotton,
which commences to bloom and make
fruit in June (or ovon earlier) and con
tinues throughout tho summer until
checked by a severe frost In November.
It has a number of "chances."
Cotton Is therefore another Ideal crop
for liberal fertilizing. A small' amount
of fertilizers applied per acre will no
doubt ylold a larger percentage prout
on Its cost than will a larger amount.
To illustrate: An application of $2 worth
of fertilizer por aero may cause an in
creased ylold of cotton (at 10 cents per
pound) of tho valuo of $? to 18, or a prollt
of 200 to 300 per cent, on Its cost. I have
frequently had such results. But it does
not follow that twlco as heavy an appli
cation will produce twice ns large re
sults, or that thrco times as much would
cause thrco times as groat an Increase
In tho ylold. In other words, tho rate
of lncren8o In tho yield of cotton will
not bo In proportion to tho increase In
tho amount of forttllzors applied. Two
dollars' worth of fertilizer per acre may
yield an Increase In tho crop of'$?; but
$6 worth would not thereforo bring an
(ncreaso of $18.
But careful observation has shown that
an application of tfi to IG worth of fertil
izers (properly balanced) ls a safe amount
to apply per nen- on cotton. Many farm
ers In Georgia l.avo socu.ed natlsfactory
returns from an application ot so much
as 800 pounds por aero,
I think COO pounds a perfectly sate limit
on upland In fairly good condition, well
prepared and properly cultivated in cot
ton. For corn, I would limit tho amount
to 200 to 300 pounds por aero on ola up
lands.

Tho Best Thing in tho World,
Henry Ward Beecher never

ia truer or bettor than tho follow
ing:
Tho best thing in thia world is

about himself is that his character
is his distinguishable feature. It io
not tho amount of money, the
amount of power, the amount ol
brains that a mau has, but hie
character. Whatever fellow-men
may say or do to the contrary,
this is a fact, that what soparatet
him from others and gives him
Iiis individuality, is his sroodnesr
m Uod's sight, which is the final
and determined sight, men ar(
what they are in wisies and pur

to say that the suprome ambitior.

The Model Uhl.
Her motto is. "Do unto others \
as you would have them do unto
you," Tho real queen of tho rose
bud garden of girls is she who
scatters kind words, kind smiles
and swcot courtesies along tho way,
who remembers her friends at all
seasons vith equal cordiality.
Another characteristic of tho
modol girl is quiet dignity, lt is
the perfect virtuo that results from
the mingling of gentleness and self
respect with an atom of considera
tion thrown in to moko the differ
ent parts minglo perfectly and
make a delightful type of girlhood.
Her dignity diffuses itself like tho
perfume of a rose; you delight in
it ns muoh as you rospcot it.
Patience, self control, kindness
and veracity also characterize tho
model girl. Sho bears in mind
that "Homo was not built in a
day," and so bides her timo not in
too big a hurry when any object is
to be accomplished. Self-control
is tho base of all virtues. Char
acter exhibits itself in oontrol of
speeoh as muoh as in anything else.

with his hand, ho told Hue to look ot
them, at the same time volunteering
tho information that lt was not noon

tho case tho boy went about his busi

When tho party reached tho village,
thoy asked tho Christian converts If
they could tell the time by a oat's eyes
und how lt was done. Immediately
thoro wus a wild hunt, and all tho oats
obtainable In tho neighborhood were
brought before them.
Tho Chinese pointed out that tho pu

rower up to 12 noon, when they be
came scarcely perceptible lines drawn
perpendicularly across the oyo, and
after that dilation recommenced. Hue
examined tho eyes of several cats and
